Health information technology (HIT) has had a profound impact on health care delivery and patient safety, but unintended consequences remain a concern. Findings from semi-structured interviews with medical and IT professionals indicate differing perspectives on the underlying causes of medical errors. While IT experts consider technology to be the source of most errors, clinicians attribute errors to person, process, and contextual factors.
